Some problem with foreach

I have a list of array that im getting from $_POST.

instead the traditional way to strip_tags

$name = strip_tags($_POST[name]);
$name = mysql_escape_string($name);
$name = ucfirst($name);
$prize = strip_tags($_POST[prize]);
$prize = mysql_escape_string($prize);
$deposit = strip_tags($_POST[deposit]);
$deposit = mysql_escape_string($deposit);
$bonus = strip_tags($_POST[bonus]);
$bonus = mysql_escape_string($bonus);

PHP:

I have planned to use foreach to run a loop trough those submitted array.

foreach ($_POST as $value) {
$value = strip_tags($value);
$value = mysql_escape_string($value);
}
extract($value);

PHP:

i doubt my foreach loop is done correctly but it should give you the idea of what im trying to archive.

 

if (isset($_POST) AND is_array($_POST))
{
    $_POST = array_map('strip_tags', $_POST);
    $_POST = array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', $_POST);

    extract($_POST);
}

PHP:

This should do what you want.

 

Absolutely, thanks alot for that..i'll be reading about array_map

 

It is also that you weren't operating on the elements in the array, just a new variable.

You would need to replace the variable in the $_POST array for your array walk to work.
